Template details

At the top of the page you can see which template you are editing. The key fields are:

Name: The internal name of the template. Used to find the template in the overview.

Type: Determines which type of email the template is used for. The type also affects which placeholders are available.

Subject: The subject line the recipient sees in their inbox. You can also use placeholders in the subject.

Use placeholders

Placeholders are automatically replaced with information when the email is sent.

Placeholders always available:

{{FULL_NAME}}: The member's full name.

{{FIRST_NAME}}: The member's first name.

{{LAST_NAME}}: The member's last name.

{{CHAIN_NAME}}: The name of your chain.

The available placeholders also depend on the selected email type. See Placeholders by email type below.

Edit email content

Attach files

You can add attachments to the email. Under the Attachments section you can drag a file into the area or click to select a file from your computer. Attachments are automatically included every time the template is used.
